CHICAGO, Feb. 9-Tbere was big drop in
wheat to-day. The shrinkage in values was
steady throughout both sessions of the board,
causing large lines of '1ong" wheat to be thrown
on the market and materially assisting the
break. The foreign advices were not encourag-
ing to holders, while the export clearings aggre
gated only 131, 600 bu from three ports The
receipts at eleven points were BIZ, 900 bu. The
| quantity of wheat and -four ocean passage
was equal to 1880, 900 bu of wheat, but this
| large decrease did not serve to harden prices OF
to stay the decline. May delivery opened 4
lower, at 62sc, fell off to Size, to 82sc, but
broke off again to Size, with heavy sales al
| the way down, and the official closing was 81 4c
On the curb, late in the afternoon, May
| was quoted down to Sic, or full decline of 2lt
during the day. Corn took the same course
There was free selling during the entire session
| under which May delivery sold down from 40st
| to 40sc and closed at about that price. The re
celpts are only moderate and the shipping de
mand is fair. Oats were pounded heavily, thu
| offerings for May delivery being very large ant
causing break from 29ac to 29c. where tn,
| market rested. In contract with the heavy de
| preston In cereals, provisions ruled strong and
advanced sharply. The opening in mess porl
| was at about yesterdays closing figures afte
which sharp rally of 80 1910 per barrel fol
lowed, and the market closed at nearly top prices
Lard advanced l0c per 100 pounds, and short rib
l74c per 100 pounds The leading futures range
| as follows
